Welcome to Fidelis College
Oakwood, The Cedars and The Laurels Schools are transitioning to a Co-ed through school, with a continued emphasis on character formation alongside academic excellence, underpinned by a Catholic ethos.
Fidelis College Mission
At Fidelis College, we aim for all our pupils to grow into the best version of themselves, fulfilling their academic potential and, just as importantly, helping them to acquire the strength of character, personal qualities and moral compass that will stand them in good stead throughout their life.
We aim to do this by working in close partnership with parents to promote personal growth in every aspect of their child’s life.
In the academic sphere we encourage a deep love of learning and a spirit of intellectual adventure while providing a solid and supportive foundation for success in public examinations.
Our character education programme places great emphasis on the acquisition of virtue through our tutorial programme, extracurricular offerings and in our daily relationships with others.
We seek to appoint teachers who are not just experts in their field but who will be excellent role models for pupils and will lead by example. A rounded education also involves exposing our pupils to all the best that has been said, produced and written so that they become culturally literate and come to appreciate by themselves all that is good, true and beautiful.
We aim to provide excellent pastoral care in a safe and supportive environment and encourage pupils to develop a sense of responsibility, physical and emotional wellbeing and a spirit of generous service.
Imbuing all of our educational endeavours with the perennial values of the Catholic faith, we therefore seek to provide a unique educational offering preparing the pupils under our care to become fulfilled and happy individuals ready to face the challenges of life and able to make a positive contribution to society.
Parents are the primary educators of their children
At Fidelis College, all our Staff see themselves as vital partners with parents in the education of their children. The basis of this partnership is loyal, mutual understanding of each other’s complementary roles.
Personalised tutorials
At Fidelis College, we pioneer a personalised tutorial system. The tutorial system seeks to integrate the pursuit of academic excellence, life skills and the integral development of the student’s character through the pursuit of virtue and noble ideals.
Character education
At Fidelis College, character education is rooted in school life. We emphasise the acquisition of virtue, those good habits – habits of mind, habits of heart and habits of action – that help us to become morally mature and self-directing in life – to be truly free.
Freedom not seen as mere freedom from constraints but as a capacity to carry noble convictions into action.
To acquire virtue, we need guidance and practice and at Fidelis these virtues are taught within the perennial values of the teachings of the Catholic Church.
